Anyone watching "Power of 10"?

Sort of a fun and silly show... right now the question is:

What percentage of Americans think U.S. soldiers should not have to do more than two tours of duty in Iraq?

Answer after the commercial...

The contestant's "helper" said that he thinks most Americans want to bring the soldiers home... and was met with rousing applause from the audience! Of course, i think the show is taped in lefty NYC.
